Seattle - Day Four (tuesday)

It's Childrens' Museum Day!! Danni had to work most of the day so we were self-sufficient tourists and hit the streets on foot to the Children's Museum in Seattle Center just a few blocks from our hotel. It had lots of great stuff to do... art room, international wing (complete with sushi restaurant, japanese subway and african drums), water table, mountian, construction zone, mexican taco stand and theatre. Tate loved the firetruck the most...

... and only shopped in the grocery store for crabs, ice cream and flowers for mommy (awww, thank you).

Next to the Space Needle gift shop for snow globe #2. Then Tate's much anticipated monorail ride to downtown and Dave's much anticipated trip to the architecture bookstore. Tate loved the monorail ride. Bookstore...not so much.

By the time we monorailed back to Seattle Center, I barely had time to run through the NW Artist's Gallery (mostly pottery...nice) and buy a wonderful little vase, before Danni picked us up and we headed to the airport for our Alaska leg of the trip.

Plane took off late, then medical emergency on board. Actual words over the loudspeaker "Is there a doctor on board?" There was not. But there were two army EMT's who helped a woman with an asthma attack - she was thankfully fine and we did not have to make an emergency landing in Anchorage. It was very late when we arrived, Tate slept the whole bumpy car ride from airport to Unkie Dan's and was carried half conscience straight to bed, rolled over and was out for the night.

We are in Alaska!!
